A SIGHT TO BE RE1LEAIBERED.

Two Of the victims were women, and the
sight of their faces was one never to be for
gotten. The distorted features, wide-staring
eyes and purifying wounds were gazed at
but for an instant, even by those looking for
a missing mother and daughter. In a few
hours one of them, young woman of light,
reddish hair, would be absolutely unrecOg-
nizabIe from the effects of the heat. Close
by her, raised above the other seven cOrpses
man, supported by couple of old boxes.
He was in his stocking feet and cOatiess and
was rapidly decaying. The other dead men

the fact that the bridge was so far consumed
at the time the tram came along ana the

And here was another terrible danger yet
to be met. The bridge was still burning
and the wrecked cars were lay
ing on it around the fercly burn
ing embers. Everywhere in the wreck
were wounded and uuhurt men,
women and children, whose lives could be
saved If they could be gotten out, but whose
death, and death in a most horrible
form, was certain, if the twisted
wood of the broken cars caught
fire. And TO fight the fire there was
not a drop of water and only some fifty able
bodied men who had still presence of mind
and nerve enough to do their duty. The
only light was the light of the burning
bridge, and with so much of its aid the fifty
men went to work to subdue it. For four
hours they fought like tends, and for four
hours the EicLorv HUNG in the balance.

A new snow-plow is now on its way
to this coast, for use on the Shasta
division of the Southern Pacific. 1t is
known as rotatory steam snow-plow,
and is warranted powerful enough to
cut the heaviest drift. The old plows
in use on the Central Pacific are driv-
en- into the snow and remove it by
pressure. The rotatorv. is armed with
a number OF hugh revolving shovels,
by means of which the snow isthrown
ito drum in the interior OF the ma
chine, and afterward scattered ON each
side OF the track. 1t is said to be much
better than the plows now in use, it
having been tried with great deal OF
success on the Union Pacific.
